Re: Probability of Getting into Business School [#permalink]
Unfortunately, getting accepted is not a random event (every candidate does not have an equally likely chance of admittance) so probability theory doesn't work here.

I know, just for fun...it's in the disclaimer. And that's not really unfortunate, otherwise you would have a lot of unqualified people in there :)

Also almost all those numbers are old, Duke is down to 24% (Adcom said so at an info session)
Fun stuff though, I wish it were that simple!
one more school and you'd be a lock!

Congrats to your excellent score. I guess the acceptance rates are highly correlated between schools on the same level. Therefore if you get accepted by one school , then you have a high probability that you also get accepted by the other schools.
